The Fig Tree & The End - Times

exactly when the abomination would happen. This event may occur after a much shorter time than 1260 days from the beginning of the Tribulation (if the first part of the Tribulation is shortened).

We are not saying this is the way it will be, but simply asking the question, is this possible, even probable? Again, we see, in the gospel according to Matthew, the words, when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet...flee (Matthew 24:15,16). Once more, no mention is made of 1260 days, or 42 months, or 3 1/2 years. Thus, we ask, is it possible according to the scriptures, that the seventieth week of Daniel will be

shortened? Will the part that will actually be shortened be the first part (which we presume to be 1260 days, yet is never actually stated as being thus)?

the following verses show clearly that the length of the second part of the Tribulation is 1260 days, or 42 months, or 3 1/2 years. We see throughout the Book of Daniel, he speaks of the seventh week or the seventh day according to God’s Time There are verses that relate to the specifics of the Time of Tribulation and how long it will last. (7:25)"and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. this is the second part of the Tribulation, 3 1/2 years. the antiChrist shall make war with the saints, and they shall be given into his hand." (12:7) "That it shall be for a time, times, and an half, and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished."

Again this is talking about the second part of the Tribulation, 3 1/2 years. the antiChrist shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people. In Revelation 12:14, it says, " where she is nourished

for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent." Once more we see the length of the second part of the Tribulation is 3 1/2 years. Israel is told to flee, when they see the abomination of

desolation, to a place where God will take care of them. In Revelation 11:2 when the Apostle John was told to measure the temple, the Lord told him to measure all "but the court that is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the Holy City shall they tread under foot forty and two months". again, we see the length of the second part of the Tribulation. It is 42 months. This is the same as the 3 1/2 years already mentioned. The court without the temple is given to the Gentiles. (Revelation 13:5) "And power was given

unto him (unto the antiChrist) to continue forty and two months."

Once again, we note that the second part of the Tribulation is 42 months. (Revelation 11:3) and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days. This 1260 days relates to the length of time that

the two prophets of God shall prophesy. Again we note, what appears to be the length of the second part of the Tribulation. (Revelation 12:6) "And the woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." This verse goes with Revelation 12:14. This is Israel fleeing when they see the abomination of desolation. Once more, we see the length of the second part of the Tribulation is 1260 days. Over and over the scriptures give us the length of the second part of the Tribulation. Is it possible that the exact length of the first part may not be given, as it will be shortened? Is it possible this is why the Jews must look for the abomination of desolation to happen, rather than being able to simply count 1260 days from the beginning of the Tribulation?
